Refrigerator is freezing our food
We have a Norcold 6 cu. ft freezer /fridge. Is 10 years old. The refrigerator was so cold that it blew the top off a can of pop. What could be causing this pls?

IF fridge uses an 'Auto Temp Control' then sliding thermistor Up/Colder or DOWN/Warmer
Sliding thermistor (UP/DOWN) on the fin can affect overall temp by few degrees IF the fridge model does NOT have adjustable temp settings
Doesn't have same affect on those with adjustable temp settings...those temp settings are pre-set and just use the fin temp as sensor for that pre-set temp
Hey biscuit, how can moving the thermistor not affect either model? The idea behind moving it is that different heights of the fin are at different temperatures due to the phase change of the coolant behind them. Regardless of user adjustable temperature settings, the control board perceives the temperature by reading that thermistor. The only difference between a adjustable model and fixed one should be the target temperature(s), not the sensing method.
I think the confusion happens because on the fixed temperature models, moving the thermistor is simply the only way to do it. Please help me to understand why, if my reasoning is wrong.
